Public feedback on pilot factory standard will help ensure the highest impact program for Fair Trade Certified garments before their launch next year
Submitted by: Fair Trade USA
Categories: Fair Trade & Supply Chain, Green Products & Services
Posted: Nov 17, 2009 – 11:51 AM EST
OAKLAND, Calif., Nov. 17 /CSRwire/ - TransFair USA, the third-party certifier of Fair Trade Certified™ products in the United States, today announced that it is extending the "Fair Trade lifestyle" into cotton clothing, bed and bath products. The first Fair Trade Certified apparel and home goods products are expected to hit U.S. retail shelves in spring 2010. To ensure the highest impact program for Fair Trade Certified garments, TransFair USA is now seeking public comment on its new draft factory standard. The pilot standard is published on TransFair USA's Web site at http://transfairusa.org/content/certification/apparel_program.php beginning Nov. 16 for a 45-day public review and comment period.
The new standard extends strong labor protections based on International Labour Organization (ILO) Conventions to garment workers in factories and sewing cooperatives. It builds on the success of Fair Trade at the farm level and follows extensive research and collaboration with garment workers, factory managers, non-governmental organization (NGO) advocates, companies and consumers.
"Consumers have become increasingly aware of humanitarian issues in the garment industry. They want to make ethical choices but are faced with very few options," said Paul Rice, president and CEO of TransFair USA. "This new draft standard will give consumers the opportunity to use their purchasing power to guarantee fair prices to farmers and social justice for workers who sew their clothes. By wearing Fair Trade Certified garments, consumers will now have a voice in ensuring better factory working conditions and higher earnings for cotton farmers in countries like Mali, India and Peru."
For the first time ever, two points of the supply chain - cut-and-sew workers and cotton farmers - will benefit from Fair Trade premiums. U.S. companies that source Fair Trade Certified apparel will pay a percentage on top of the cost of the garment as a Fair Trade premium, which goes directly to factory workers who decide democratically how the funds are spent. Additionally, cotton farmers will earn a guaranteed minimum price and Fair Trade premium to invest in community needs such as schools, health centers and infrastructure.
"Fair Trade garments could be path-breaking in the field of ethical business," said Gopinath Parakuni of Cividep, a workers rights organization in India, where Fair Trade apparel will be made. "Through Fair Trade, workers can begin to truly have a choice about how to be represented in the workplace and how to communicate with their employers."
TransFair USA and Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International (FLO) collaborate to ensure that the chain of custody is tracked from the farm to the finished product. FLO certifies cotton producers and audits processors (such as ginners and spinners) against Fairtrade standards, and TransFair USA certifies the cut-and-sew factory against this new pilot standard.
TransFair USA's current list of Fair Trade Certified products now spans more than 20 categories - from coffee, tea and cocoa to flowers, wine and even sports balls. Through the sales of Fair Trade Certified products in the United States - which hit an estimated $1.2 billion in 2008 - TransFair USA has delivered nearly $150 million in additional revenue to farmers and workers in rural communities throughout the developing world.
About TransFair USA
TransFair USA is the only third-party certifier of Fair Trade Certified™ products in the United States. TransFair USA audits and certifies transactions between U.S. companies and their international suppliers to guarantee that the farmers and workers producing Fair Trade Certified goods were paid fair prices and wages.

So I am new to reading from files with Java and are trying to get this loop to keep reading from a file that the program has written to but it seems that every time I run the script the terminal seems to wait for me to input a value instead. And when I do just to see how it would behave I get a NoSuchElementException(). I'm not really sure what is happening but I know what that error means. It doesn't make sense to me why it is acting like that. It's been really driving me nuts.
import java.io.IOException; import java.io.PrintWriter; import java.io.File; import java.util.Scanner; import java.util.Random; public class BottleCapPrize { public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException { PrintWriter outFile = new PrintWriter(new File("BottleOpener.txt")); Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in); Scanner inFile = new Scanner(new File("BottleOpener.txt")); Random rand = new Random(); int trials; int winCap = (int)(Math.random()*5)+1; int lenCaps = 0; int totalCaps = 0; double avg; System.out.print("Enter number of trials: "); trials = in.nextInt(); for (int counter = 1; counter <= trials; counter++){ while (rand.nextInt(5)+1 != winCap){ lenCaps++; } outFile.println(lenCaps); lenCaps = 0; } outFile.close (); while (in.hasNext()){ totalCaps += inFile.nextInt(); //<- I GET THE ERROR HERE } System.out.println("AVG: ~" + (avg = (double)totalCaps/trials)); } }

SAN ANTONIO -- Despite the outcry over mammography guideline changes, many women still don't get screened, according to a study of utilization in more than 1.5 million women.
Annual mammography rates averaged only 50% in those ages 40 and older despite the fact that all patients studied had continuous insurance coverage, Milayna Subar, MD, of the benefits managment company Medco Health Solutions in Franklin Lakes, N.J., and colleagues found.
Biennial screening rates weren't much better, with 60% of the women ages 40 and older having had at least two mammograms over four years, the researchers reported here at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.
"The concern is we often listen to the loudest and forget about those who aren't shouting," Subar told MedPage Today. "We have to look at the actual data, not just what people say when they are speaking out."
Action Points
- Note that this study was published as an abstract and presented at a conference. These data and conclusions should be considered to be preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
- Note that this study documents continued underuse of mammography screening in all age groups despite guidelines.
When the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommended in November 2009 that women under age 50 don't need routine screening mammography and those 50 to 75 need screening only every two years, the public and political furor led Congress to include a proviso in the healthcare reform law for insurers to cover annual mammography starting at 40.
"This is human nature; people do not want to be denied things they think they should have," noted Judy E. Garber, MD, MPH, of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and president-elect of the American Association for Cancer Research, which co-sponsors the conference.
The American Cancer Society and other professional associations generally recommend annual or biennial screening mammography starting at age 40.
The Healthy People 2010 goal was 70% of women getting a mammogram at least once every two years once they reach 40. Prior studies suggested those goals were nearly being met but used women's self-reports as a measure of adherence.
Subar's group used a de-identified administrative claims database of more than 1.5 million women age 40 and older with no prior history of breast cancer and who were continuously insured from 2006 through 2009 -- before the controversy erupted -- with benefits managed by Medco.
They found that the average rate of annual mammography didn't differ substantially across age groups, at 47% among those in their 40s, 54% among those 50 to 64, and 45% among women 65 and older.
Similarly, the proportion with at least two mammograms over the four years was 57% in women in their 40s, 65% in 50- to 64-year-olds, and 53% in those 65 and older.
The percentage who had received any mammogram over the four years stood at 77% overall for those 40 and older.
Reasons for the "lower than expected" adherence rates may include patient concerns about cost, discomfort of the procedure, and fear, Subar noted at a press conference.
"This is no different from colonoscopies," Garber told MedPage Today. "We have the same data that colonoscopies are beneficial but we have a hard time getting people to do them."
Confusion after the emotional public debate over conflicting breast cancer screening guidelines could be a problem as well, Subar noted.
However, since these findings came from data prior to the USPSTF guideline update, that wouldn't explain the results, Garber countered.
"These women thought they were supposed to go every year, they just didn't get there," she said in the interview. "The confusion may make it worse."
The solution may lie in continued public education and access to mammography, according to Subar.
"There is a lot of work to be done," she concluded at the press conference.
Subar reported employment with Medco Health Solutions.
Garber reported having no conflicts of interest to disclose.

Olive oil, to grease
1.5L (6 cups) water
2 chicken stock cubes
220g (11/4 cups) instant polenta (cornmeal)
40g (1/2 cup) finely grated parmesan
20g butter
2 tbs olive oil
30g (1/3 cup) finely grated parmesan, extra
Brush a 16 x 26cm (base measurement) slice pan with oil to lightly grease. Line the base and 2 long sides with non-stick baking paper, allowing the sides to overhang.
Place the water and stock cubes in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to the boil. Gradually add the polenta in a thin steady stream, whisking constantly, until combined. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for 2 minutes or until the mixture thickens and the polenta is soft.
Remove from heat and stir in the parmesan and butter. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Set aside for 30 minutes to cool. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight to set.
Preheat oven to 200°C. Line the base of a large roasting pan with non-stick baking paper. Cut the polenta into 12 equal portions. Place, in a single layer, in the lined pan. Drizzle over the oil and sprinkle with the extra parmesan. Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until puffed and golden. Serve.
Grilled Vegetables
3 red bell peppers, seeded and halved
3 yellow squash (about 1 pound total), sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick rectangles
3 zucchini (about 12 ounces total), sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick rectangles
3 Japanese eggplant (12 ounces total), sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick rectangles
12 cremini mushrooms
1 bunch (1-pound) asparagus, trimmed
12 green onions, roots cut off
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush the vegetables with 1/4 cup of the oil to coat lightly. Sprinkle the vegetables with salt and pepper. Working in batches, grill the vegetables until tender and lightly charred all over, about 8 to 10 minutes for the bell peppers; 7 minutes for the yellow squash, zucchini, eggplant, and mushrooms; 4 minutes for the asparagus and green onions. Arrange the vegetables on a platter. The key to getting those great grill marks is to not shift the vegetables too frequently once they've been placed on the hot grill.
Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, parsley, basil, and rosemary in a small bowl to blend. Add salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the herb mixture over the vegetables. Serve the vegetables, warm or at room temperature
To Serve
Place polenta on a plate, top with the vegatables and drizzle with a spicy tomato chutney . Crumble Feta cheese over the top and serve hot or cold.

I am in attempt to understand relative insecurity of certain encryption schemes. Particularly of interest is DES and RC2. I know AES is better and should be used to encrypt. But practically, if something is encrypted with (1) DES or (2) RC2 (3) RC4 what level security is achieved.
In affect I am asking:
If a adversery is given a {DES/RC2/RC4} ciphertext, is it possible that they can decrypt or can a determined adversary definitely decrypt?

I have finally been able to finish my pre-processing tutorial for PixInsight. This tutorial covers EVERYTHING from start to finish of how to take your raw exposures (bias, darks, flats and lights), produce masters and use them to calibrate your lights, followed by stacking them including using the Drizzle algorithm to remove pixelation in the final result. The fully manual method is covered in detail. The tutorial also covers use of the BatchPreprocessing script for anyone interested in it. Additionally, there is a discussion of what to do with multiple sets of data for the same object captured over various nights. Enjoy!

Guy Marvin Purvis (1899-1975) was a merchant of Ray City, Ga. He was a son of Mary Brantley and Lee Arnold Purvis. For about 20 years he owned Purvis Grocery Store in the town. His wife, Arlie Guthrie Purvis (1890-1976), was a sister of Effie Guthrie Knight, John Guthrie, Sam Guthrie.
The Purvises lived in the house on the southeast corner of Main and Park streets. They had a nice houseful of furniture, dining room set, bedroom set in the master bedroom, iron beds in the other rooms. They had a nice little spool-leg dropleaf dinette set in the kitchen. In 1930 they had a radio, which was a rare thing in Ray City in those days. There were only eight radio sets within the city limits, the other owners being James A. Grissett, John D. Luke, Henry Swindle, Walter Altman, John Simpkins, Joseph Johnson and Fannie Parks. The average cost of a radio in 1929 was around $139 dollars. In terms of comparable "affordability" for an average person in today's dollars (2010 index) this would be like making a $7,600 purchase (relative worth based on nominal GDP per capita index – see MeasuringWorth.com). The house had a back porch and an outhouse at the very back of the lot.
Behind this house was the farm of Perry Swindle. Mr. Swindle and his wife Cynthia "Cynthy" Swindle.Perry Swindle had a large open truck and hauled goods and animals and people, too. He provided an annual excursion for the Ray City School students to Twin Lakes, GA.
By about 1941 Marvin could no longer make a go of it operating his Ray City store. Right after the Purvises lost the store, they moved about half a mile south on Park Street to live with Arlie's sister, Effie Guthrie Knight, for a few months. This was right before WWII and Marvin got a temporary job helping to build the bridge over Beaverdam Creek. He was probably making more money at this job than he had made for quite some time in his failing store. Some of the other Ray City men working on road construction were Cranford P. Bennett, Edwin L. Mobley, Oscar H. Scarborough, and Clementine Mikell.
After a short while Marvin & Arlie Purvis moved into town where they rented some rooms. They were living in an apartment that had been partitioned off a part of the home of Mrs. Nancy Mobley on North Street. Mrs. Mobley was a widow and had living with her in the main part of the house her daughter and son-in-law Eloise Williams Johnson and Bernard L. Johnson, and Eloise's half sister Doris Mobley. Eloise was a teacher at the Ray City School.
Arlie Purvis made a little money baby sitting Jack Patten, son of Mabel Edith Cook and Thomas Penland Patten.
Later Marvin and Arlie moved across the street to live in the house on the southwest corner of North Street and Bryan Street in Ray City, GA.

HOUSTON – You've heard the phrase, "when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade." That's exactly what one group is asking you to do this month to help promote awareness of a potentially deadly disease.
St. Luke's Health System is trying to raise awareness about breast cancer through lemonade.
The program is called, "Make a Stand Texas."
"It's an opportunity for our entire community to get out and raise awareness of breast cancer throughout the month of October," said David King with St Luke's Health System.
The idea is for people to use lemonade stands to inform their community about breast cancer.
Neighbors, businesses, and even schools can setup stands. St. Agnes Academy was actually the first in our area to setup a stand.
"What's great about a lemonade stand is that it is easy to setup. If you have a card table, and some lemonade you're ready to go," said King.
The organization even provides signs and brochures on their website available to print.
Organizers say the goal is information, not fundraising, so they've asked people who setup stands to donate any money raised to a cause.

Turkish leader investigated in corruption case
ANKARA, Turkey - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is the subject of a corruption inquiry, state-run media said Tuesday, as opposition parties demanded that his government resign.
Ankara's chief prosecutor initiated an investigation into audio recordings - purportedly of Erdogan and his son arranging to dispose of vast amounts of cash amid a graft probe, the Anadolu agency reported.
Erdogan met with Turkey's intelligence chief shortly after the voice recordings circulated on the Internet on Monday. The voices were heard discussing means of getting rid of large amounts of money from an undisclosed residence.
A statement issued by Erdogan's office later said the tapes were fabricated and that legal action would be taken against those responsible.
It was not clear if the investigation was to determine the recordings' authenticity or whether they represented a possible criminal act.
Earlier Tuesday, Devlet Bahceli, the leader of Turkey's far-right Nationalist Action Party, called the recordings "mind-blowing" and urged prosecutors and other judicial bodies to intervene.
The Republican People's Party, Turkey's main opposition, claimed to have verified the authenticity of the recordings through "three or four channels" and called on Erdogan to either resign or "flee (Turkey) by helicopter."
Erdogan lashed out at Turkish and foreign enemies he claimed were conspiring to bring his government down and again charged that the tapes were fabricated.
"This is a treacherous act against the prime minister of Turkey," he said.

Book review: Ideas in food – Great recipes and why they workFriday, August 19th, 2011
Readers well aquianted with the food blogosphere will likely be familiar with Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot's blog Ideas in food.

As chefs they have eagerly integrated modernist techniques and elements in their cooking, allowing technology to improve their cooking whenever possible.

Epic is one young firm, originally American, based in California, has already spawned three vehicles electric, a road, a hybrid, and now a sports car. Epic Electric Vehicles has announced the development of a three-wheeled sports cars that runs on three wheels (two front and one rear) to take you on a wonder ride, powered entirely by an on-board electric engine. The company has already produced a couple of electric vehicles and the sports car is the latest addition to their lineup. Created by California-based Company Epic, the "EV Torq" as its name suggests is an electric sports cars.
US-based company Epic has developed a three-wheeler sports cars, dubbed the EV Torq, which is completely electric-powered. The automobile is powered by a 200hp electric motor, which gets its energy from a 30 kWh lithium iron phosphate batteries. The Epic Sports Cars EV Torq Electric Vehicles has got an open design with chassis that is barely covered along the top. What's more, there's an open interior equipped with cup-holders, digital dash display and an i-Phone holder.
Epic Sports Cars EV Torq Electric Vehicles
Stand out of doors the front lights, front wing, the enforcing tires, seat blue, the frame open (triangles), and many details that come to a sports activities vehicles. The Epic reminds plenty to the Ariel Atom, although this has four wheels.
The trike/car usually weighs 771 kilograms, which isn't unequivocally all which light in a universe of kit-car lookalikes. But this Torq is powered by the 150kW electric engine so there's no possibility of sluggish acceleration. Mated to a single-speed delivery – including a retreat rigging – the motor is pronounced to be capable of pulling by from any speed.
No authentic acceleration times have been to be had but though a trike/automobile is predicted to be ?Rapid?. Providing the electricity is the lithium iron phosphate battery field that can be charged with the aid of the one hundred ten/220 volt hole, or the specified 240 volt Australian hole.
Epic Sports Cars EV Torq Electric Vehicles
The company has adopted an open design where the chassis is barely covered along the top. The interior is spartan and has also been kept to its basics, with seats for two passengers, a digital dash display, two cup holders and an in-car entertainment system. The flat-bottomed Momo racing wheel is devoid of buttons while controls for turn signals and lights are in a module to the drivers left. Of course, having no windshield means no need for wipers or their switches. Speed and other necessary info is located on a small screen straight ahead of the driver.
Epic is planning to unveil the two-seater sports activities cars via the end of 2010.

The 2020 Cougar Mountain Trail Run Series plus the stand-alone October races are cancelled due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are refunding all runners for race registrations.
Thanks to runners like you, the Cougar Mountain Trail Run Series has raised over $170,000 for King County Parks and contributed many hundreds of hours of trail work. Join Seattle Running Club and Northwest Trail Runs in carrying this legacy forward and making this 14th annual event bigger and better than ever!Just 15 minutes from Seattle, King County's Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park is one of the most popular training grounds for area trail runners and the Seattle Running Club. The course builds on itself throughout the series and brings runners through a lush forest of fern-lined single-track trails, over hills and along marshes and wetland habitats. This is a great series to supplement the training regime for a fall marathon or ultra. Cougar Mountain features rolling hills, a few moderate climbs and a few steep but short inclines.
The summer Short Series and Long Series races are held the 2nd Saturday of May, June, July, and August. The Fall races are held on the last Sunday in October. Series standings are updated after each month's races and everyone competing in each successive distance is eligible for Series awards. There is a participant cap and the races tend to sell out, so register early!5,000
Special discount code for 20% off races (Code: SRC20) available to current SRC members. We will be checking member numbers, so be honest.
Again, this year the series is continuing to reduce the amount of trash created during the event. In 2019, we ask that runners bring a refillable water container with them on the trail to use at aid stations along the way. Our friends at Shoes-n-Feet, Seven Hills Running, and Fleet Feet Sports Seattle have a variety of hydration products.
Very important announcement: Dogs are not allowed on the course due to USATF Sanctioning and Insurance Requirements. Despite the parks policy on dogs on leash being acceptable, USATF has determined dogs on course cause a potentially unsafe environment for participants and spectators. We love our dogs and remember Scott's dog Jack attending Cougar races for years and years. But we want to continue hosting races for years to come and need to abide by the USATF rules.
